What is that app possibly made of that it cant run on literally anything? It’s just an app for text and images. I dont get it, is it optimized like an actual potato?
What a stupid anti-human shit, I hate it. All my devices from 10 years ago are still perfectly fine and operational, and I can’t use them because of some people’s laziness. They are used on 1% devices not because they are necessarily bad or broken but because it’s impossible to use them now for arbitrary reasons.
Well, true. But it is more reasonable to hate the manufacturer who refused to update, not the app devs who would have to do more work for small gain.
Or unofficially update your own device, if possible.

Back when it was still in beta, it went through a period where it drained my battery from 100% to dead in under 30 minutes.
Just by being installed, not even actually using it.
I mean, look at the facebook app. They had to do “optimizations”, because they ran into limits of Android’s Dalvik a few years back.
Could be a library or feature that the devs didn’t consider worth maintaining on older devices.
For context, the OP appears to be using Android 5 or 5.1, released in 2014/2015 respectively and is used on 1.1-1.3% devices worldwide.

I’m not hating on the developers, I’m hating on the whole situation
